I'm using publisher 2007. This is my first attempt at setting up a website. I
set up hosting and domain through godaddy.com. I have completed my web design
in Publisher and checked it using the Design Checker function and all is well
there. I'm ready to publish it to the web. I beleive I have followed all the
instructions in the tutorial to a T, but for some reason, I am unable to
upload to the website. In the tutorial under "Publish a Web site to a
location on the internet or network" i
It tells me:
On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
In the Publish to the Web dialog box, in the File name box, type the URL of
the Web or network server where you want to save your Web site. For example,
type http://www.northwindtraders.com. I type in my url, http://sherrybtax.com
Click Save.
At this point I get and error message: "The filename you have entered is too
long or contains illegal characters. Try again using a different name.
What am I doing wrong?
If prompted, type your user name and password, and then click OK.
The directory that is associated with your URL will appear in the Publish to
the Web dialog box.
Double-click the folder where you want to save your Web site.
In the File name box, select index as the default name for your home page,
and then click Save.
Note Index.htm is the default selection. Selecting index as the name of
your home page makes it easier to access and prevents users from viewing a
list of the files that make up your Web site.
When prompted, click OK.
